If you would like to watch a chapel that took place previously, view Spring 2025. 

Chapel is held Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 pm -3:50 pm in-person and on-line in the McInnis Hall Auditorium (St. Davids campus).

To continue our Centennial theme (Psalm 100.5), we’ll be grappling this fall 2025 semester with the eight (8) beatitudes of Jesus in Matthew’s gospel (Matthew 5:3-10). We hope this will be a helpful (and intentional) demonstration of God’s goodness, love, faithfulness given to all generations.
